My mother-in-law = fulfilled her promise to “make it right with me” in roval and unexpected fashion upon the very next day following the knit- ting incident, when Cousin Agatha had tried in vain to fan into a quarrel the differing opinions of the elder Mrs. Graham and myself upon the English and the Continental methods of knit- ting, Because of Cousin Agatha’'s in- terference, I had painfully unlearned the Continental method which Lillian had taught me, and painstakingly applied myself to the method my mother-in-law autocratically declared to be the “only right way’—the way she had been taught. If I had been asked ta declare my opinion, I could not have found a needle-point’s difference between the two methods. But I was very much confused through learning first one way and then the other, and by the time my mother-in-law condescend- ingly informed me that my work would “da,” I was almost ready to throw knitting needles and wools into the fireplace In weary disgust. Almost ready, but not quite, for it is never my way to give up anything I have once set out to do, and besides, my mother-in-law’s pleasure in teach- ing me was so obvious that I pro- longed my lesson, asking her over and over things I already knew. “I declare, Margaret,” she said at last, “‘this is making me enthusiastic, too. I've thought vaguely of knitting for the soldiers, hut really have been too indolent to get about it. I think I'll go to the city tomorrow morning and get me some needles and wool. I have another errand, also, to which I must attend.” The air with which she uttered the words and the smile which accam- panied them were plainly meant to be mysterious and important. I knew she meant me to connect them with her promise to “make it right” with me, and there was a glad feeling at my heart that I had sacrificed my own inclination in the matter of knitting. “I Returned That Tapestry.” But there was a little feeling of re- sentment mingled with my virtuous wsense of duty done, a feeling that had its roots in the discussian of draperies for our new home which my mother- in«aw apd I had on our trip to town & couple of days before, a trip that had ended for me In a series of most surprising adventures. Because I did not yish my mother-in-law to suspect that my real reason for going to the city was to trace the source of the anonymous clippings which had come to me, T had abruptly wound up our discussion of draperies by turning over the whole question to her. But the remembrance of the autocratic manner in which she had disposed of my suggestion concerning the old mid- Victorian walnut chairs that I had bought rankled childishly within me. The woman who sold us the house had stared away in her attic a won- derful old set of horsehair-covered walnut furniture, an immense couch, a hospitable big rocker and six straight chairs. Their coverings were in strips, their springs broken, but the beautifully carved walnut was still in NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1917 e o O * ~—— .

True, | there are impressive dramatic mo- nrents in which Mr. Lockwood figures | in “The Square Deceiver,” but for the most part his role of Billie Van Dyke | is a comedy character—not the broad kind, but of the light and breezy va- riety. “The Square Deceiver” is de- scribed by Francis Perry Elliott, the author of the novel, “Love Me For Myself Alone,” from which the photo- | Lerrons play was adapted, as a joyous comedy | of love and youth. Billie Van Dyke, | the character about whom the plot | centers, is a multi-millionaire society man who, in order to learn if his. dream-girl loves him for himself alone, or for his money, poses as a chauffeur. By his action he upsets the carefully lald plans of one particu- larly designing mother and thrusts himself into a whirl of surprising and | rapid-fire action. ! Another mighty good film is ‘*‘His Smashing Career,” another of those rollicking Sunshine comedies that the Fox studios have been offering for the past few weeks. | “Buried Alive,” which is the twelfth | chapter of that very exciting serial, “The Seyen Pearls,” is also on the program, together with the new issuo | of the Pathe News, which shows all i the latest views that have been taken | of the boys in Uncle Sam’s canton- ! ments. 7 ! Another big speclal show has been | engaged for Sunday night, the feature of which will be a big, unusual drama ; with that prince of Spanish actors, ! George Hernandez, in the leading : role. The name of the picture is ! “Up?—or Down?” and it is said by | those who have seen it that the plot | is just as unusual as the title. Many | other superior short subjects will also ‘ be shown. Great interest has been aroused by | the announcement of the Fox feature | for Monday and Tuesday, which is ! “The Trouble-Makers,” in which those ! twa little imps, Jane and I{atherlnel Lee, are the stars. J TANGUAY CONCLUDES KEENEY APPEARANCE This is your last chance to see the most talked of actress on the vaude- ville stage, Eva Tanguay the vaude- | ville queen in the role of Firefly, in “The Wild Girl,” which was “‘rit!en‘ especially for Miss Tanguay by George Rosener, gives her exceptional ! opportunities, and she is supported by | an unusually able cast. Stuart Holmes | very good shape, and the moment I saw them I coveted them. Their awner sold them to me for a ridicu- lously small sum, and I had given myself a great deal of quiet pleasure since in visualizing the appearance of the old pieces when they should be repaired and covered with bright- colored English’ chintz. There was a sitting room in the| house we had bought which. to my eyes appeared to be clamoring for the /0la furniture, thus rejuvenated, to be put into it. This room had a white marble fireplace of the same period as the furniture, and high windows. I bad resolved to make it a chintz room, and to have the window drape- ries correspond with the upholstering of the furniture. But my mother-in-law had shat- tered my dreams with the assertion come to the aid of their country. that I was “crazy to think of putting delicate chintz upon that furniture,” and that ‘‘tapestry was the only ma- terial to be thought of.”” I had ac- quiesced in her decision, but as far as. 80 trivial a thing could affect me, I had been unhappy over it. I felt that T never wanted to see or to hear of the chairs again, and I had to force myself to admire the plece of tapestry my mother-in-law had brought home with the declaration that it was to be used for the covering of the walnut turniture. It is a misfortune of mine that I brood over injustice, real or fancled, and by the time my mother-in-law re- turned from the city I had worked myself into an unwholesome morbid state. “I returned that tapestry, Mar- garet,” she said, almost before she re- plays the part of Vosho, the Villaln»i ous gypsy who tries to trap the little “wild girl” into marriage, and Tom Moore is the rescuing young hero; Miss Tanguay brings to her interpre- tation of the title role all of that youthful zest and abandon which stamps her work on the stage, and ‘her picture of the little southern heiress reared by roving gypsies, is an appealing one. Miss Tanguay Is without a doubt the most popular public entertainer on the boards, her popularity having been undeniably established a few years back when she won the Morn- ing Telegraph’'s famous popularity contest. In this feature the picture fans throughout the country will see the famous star of vaudeville in all the costumes which she has worn dur- ing her many years of sensational suc- cess as a vaudeville headliner. In- cluded in these are some of the ec- | centric and beautiful costumes worn when Eva Tanguay sang *“I Don't Care’” from sea to sea. No pains have been spared to make the little vaudeville queen’s first appearance on the screen a notable one, and it was in order that the movie fans could visualize those marvelous creations in dress that helped to make Eva Tan-. guay famous that the costume revue was arranged. In it Miss Tanguay is shown in a variety of exquisite crea- tions, each of which at one time or another has made her the talk Broadway. Among them is the fa- mous peacock dress with its head- piece of towering blue-green feath- ers, the gorgeous pearl costume, scant but lovely, the swagger sailor boy's suit, the jewel gown and the daring moved her gloves. ‘“Upon thinking it over, I decided that it wasn't the shade I wanted. And luckily it was a remnant. The clerk had saild I coyld bring it back if it didn’t har- manize with my other things.” A Sacrifice in Return. “My!” always ‘“My!” I thought to myself. I might be an absolute non- enity in the house instead of its mis- tress. Cousin Agatha voiced my feelings cattishly. “How fortunate you are in your daughter-in-law, Harriet,” she purred. “Few young married women would allow a mother-in-law to sélect all the draperies and dominate the house as you do.” Her cousin vouchsafed her not even the satisfaction of an answering look. “I think you’ll like the color of the tapestry I got in its place much better, Margaret,” she said, tugging at a big bundle, which with astonishment I had watched her bring in, far my tinsel bathing suit. The revue of these costumes is worth the price of admission alone. FADS AND FASHIONS Most of the pretty Ilingerie is made of flesh pink crepe de chine. Black satin is the most becoming fabric for the gray-haired woman. Now and then we ses a velvet Tam o' Shanter worn with great chic. Some spring suits boast the closely fitted back with many seams.

Never was there a better response to a column of lost and found adver- tisements (have you ever noticed by the way, that in these columns there are always five losts to one found. ‘Whatever does become of those other four articles?) than there was to my last batch of lost poems and stories. Every single one was found. Some several times over. Everybody Is Much Thanked. I have thanked all the friends that I could by mail. Will the rest please consider themselves thanked as usual. Also will the lady who so kindly copied out the music and verses of “The Faded Coat of Blue” please not think me most ungrateful. Her ad- dress in some way became separated from the music and I couldn't write her (and speaking of such losses, a very lovely letter friend wrote me an unusually interesting letter about en- joying my talks and telllng me how the engineer threw the papers off a train to her and I can't find it. If she reads this I wish she would write again.) Some of the finders also had losts to advertise. A Story She Read As a Child. “I have a story I would like to find if possible,” writes one such. “It is about a wealthy family who lost their money. In order to get a start again they moved into the country. I be- lieve with the ‘old folks’ The way the children, as well as the grown folks, worked together to make the best of it, impressed me as a child. Would like to get my matured view- point. I remember the children fixing i a playhouse in the barn, using all sorts Hemstitching continueg to he the chief decoration of the finest waists. Mink furs are coming into favor again, of old cast-offs. In one part there was something about a fire, I be- lieve, where the older boy played the rt of hero.” “Only A Lock of Her Hair.” “I wish some of your numerous readers could tell me,” writes another, “where to find the words and music of a song I found in an old Peter- son magazine thirty years ago. Title, “Only a lock of her hair.” All I can remember is, ‘Only a lock of her hair Only the flowers she wore Years have I treasured them where Others shall see them no more.’ " “When a child,” writes ‘‘a constant reader,” I used to sing: ‘The rose that all are praising Is not the rose for me Too many eyes are gazing Upon the costly tree. But there’s a rose in yonder glen That shuns the gaze of other men For me their praise resigning Oh, that's the rose for me.’ I cannot remember the rest and if anyone ¢oudd,; would like to have it.” <k Catarrh Cannot Be Cured Wwith LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

' Adjust ' “ETERNAL TEMPTRESS” ON LYCEUM BILL The most effective dr: of the month, “The Eternal Temp- tress,” starring Lina Cavalleri, heads the bill for the last time today at the Lyceum, with a continuous show. Dramas of the screen usublly have that “everybody happy” ending, but this is one that absolutely refuses to 2dhere to the set rules, and violates the laws of established drama. Ther: is no soft goo to let the audience sigh at the last flicker as the hero gathers his heroine in his arms and paints a rosy picture of future happiness, for this is a drama as the word is sup- posed to be employed. { It is replete with moments that carry the watchers along, and unfolds a plot of splendid development. Cav- alieri herself, in her first appearance on the screen offers a sample of work that shows her true artistry. Always known as a gand opera sattelite, in this instance she enters an entirely different branch of work. and what is more, she carries away the laurels. Her supporting company, her splen- did part, offering her opportunity af- ter opportunity to use her talent, and | the scenic splendors with which , the picture is replete all tend to bring the | excellence of the story out better than under ordinary conditions. Sunday night's show will be a hum- mer from beginning to end, three pic- tures being of especial merit. The feature will be *“The Mirror,” and included in the long list of films will be “A Maid to Order” and ‘“Jerry’'s Star Bout,” the titles of which show to some extent, the nature of the stories. On the same program will be "the Lyceum Weekly and other plc- tures. The Lyceum's reputation as the theater for real Sunday night enjoy- ment is increasing each week, and the management has planned and ar- ranged to keep up the reputation, thus the excellent pictures that are given each Sunday evening. “Of late the news weekly offered at the Ly- ceum has taken on an added signifi- cance, since its topics are all of gen- eral Interest. This week’s edition shows scenes at Halifax, where thou- sands were killed and other thousands made homeless; the Red Cross cam- paign for members, scenes in Uncle Sam’s training camps in this coun- try and in France, and up to date news of war importance. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's program will he headed by Geraldine TFarrar, the greatest dramatic actress now on the screen, in “The Devil Stone.” When this picture was se- cured, the management got it with the idea of giving its patrons the best possible for Christmas. Miss Farrar's work, since her latest pictures have been offered at the Lyceum has come in for the highest praise. See her in her latest at the Lyceum and get a ‘ real treat. It is a gripping, dramatic story excellently filmed, with a real star and a great story. *COHAN SHOW AT PARSONS’ TONIGHT Cohan and Harris’ big musical company, which is to present ‘“Going Up” at Parson’s theater at a matinee and night performance today, ar- rived in Hartford at noon yester- day.

Hirsch who composed the music. A dress rehearsal of “Going Up” held last night, developed the fact that the authors of the new musical comedy novelty have set a pace for. speed and fun that makes the play a whizzing affair.
